Effective Water and Mud Separation System for TBM Tunnel and Metro Excavations

Sedimentation tank (pool), especially TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine) is a high-strength infrastructure equipment designed for the safe and efficient separation of slurry masses generated in tunnel and subway excavations. By Bayrakcı Metal with project-based special engineering solutions produced, these systems recover the water contained in the sludge generated during excavation and optimizes waste management processes.

The slurry accumulated in the tank is removed by a specially designed separation and settling systems is physically separated by the sludge. In this process, sludge pulp accumulates at the bottom of the tank, while the water accumulated at the top is filtered and ready for reuse. Thus, both the amount of environmental waste is reduced and water transportation and supply costs is significantly reduced. The system ensures uninterrupted and sustainable operation in long-term excavation operations.

Bayrakci Metal are manufactured from high-strength steel or metal alloy materials. Compact, portable and modular structure, it can be easily adapted to different field conditions. All welding and connection points are shipped to the field after passing industrial strength tests. Galvanized or industrial paint coatings provide long-lasting protection in harsh environmental conditions.

Features and Advantages of Use

• Intended Use: Separation of slurry from tunnel and subway excavations.
• Material: High strength steel or metal alloy construction.
• Structure: Compact, portable and modular design.
• Productivity: Water is reused thanks to sludge-water separation.
• Resilience Industrial construction and paint protection for severe field conditions.
• Installation: Easy assembly and transportation systems suitable for field conditions.
• Privatization: Possibility of production with different colors, sizes and output systems according to demand.

Why Use a Settling Tank / Pool?

Slurry generated in TBM tunnel excavations is a waste that needs to be controlled both in terms of environmental pollution and workflow. Sedimentation tank/pool, solves this problem by separating the water from the sludge and reusing it. Thus, both an environmentally friendly excavation process is carried out and water costs are reduced. In addition, thanks to its portable and modular structure, it can be easily transported from site to site and installation time is at minimum level. Bayrakcı Metal tanks offer a safe, efficient and environmentally friendly solution for long-term projects.
